Are yoga, reiki and other forms of holistic practice set to become more popular than churchgoing? \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book addresses these questions by presenting findings from a major research project designed to chart the state of religion and spirituality today. Though it finds little to support more extreme claims of change, it discovers that spiritualities which engage with the depths of personal experience are faring far better than religions that demand conformity to higher truth. These developments are explained by drawing attention to the significance of a 'subjective turn' in the wider culture - whereby conformity to external obligations becomes less important than sensitivity to inner life and wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Heelas\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in Religion and Modernity and \u003cb\u003eLinda Woodhead\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Christian Studies, both in the Department of Religious Studies at Lancaster University, UK.
